Cannes Yachting Festival 2022 Fast Approaches
Cannes Yachting Festival, one of the world’s major boat shows, runs from 6-11 September, with everything from superyachts to wooden dinghies on show in the French Riviera town’s packed marina and old port.
Around 550 exhibitors are expected to be present with around 640 boats.
Continuing Focus on Sustainability
The show’s focus on sustainability continues this year with a ‘Green Route’ offering advice and an ‘Innovation Village’ for newer companies. Sylvie Ernoult, festival director, added: “Little by little, the nautical industry is improving its environmental footprint and we too are following suit by developing our own eco-responsible commitments within the framework of the exhibition.”
The Vieux Port, one of the oldest on the Côte d’Azur, plays host each year to a glamourous line-up of yachts between five and 45 metres long, of which 80 (less than 10 metres long) will be exhibited on land.
The Ultimate in Luxury Yachting
The organisers say: “The Palais des Festivals has a large area devoted to luxury yachting players: shipyards, architects and designers, internal layouts, ready-to-wear, accessories, tourism institutions and marinas, service companies, while the Tender and Toys areas presenting the latest innovations can be found outside. The Luxury Gallery, located in the heart of the Palais, is dedicated to luxury, craftsmanship and the art of living and each year brings together an exclusive selection of famous and more exclusive brands presenting their new products and expertise to visitors who appreciate beautiful objects. The sea trial area (located outside the visitor itinerary and accessible only when accompanied by an exhibitor) has been enlarged to make sea trials easier and ensure the Festival is safe by reducing maritime traffic within the port.”
e-tickets for visitors start at €19. There are also VIP options, including a six-day package costing €1,166 for two people, with ‘exclusive services’ including a courtesy car service provided by Bentley.
